What the Fathers say

Isaiah 26:6

Western Saints

Thomas Aquinas

And he adds the condition of those who destroy them: the foot shall tread it down, the feet of the poor, the Jews, who have little; the needy, who need to have many things. Or, if taken mystically, he sets out the Jews' meriting of destruction on account of the poor Christ, of whom it says in Psalm 69:6[70:5]: but I am needy and poor, and also: but I am poor and sorrowful (Ps 68:30[69:29]); the needy, the disciples.
